In Remembrance of What Was and What Will Continue
Stereotypically men deal with things by ignoring about it and women deal with things by talking about it. In this day and age, it seems like both genders deal by tweeting about it. That’s how I learnt today in a tweet by @JayOnrait that Brian Burke’s son Brendan had passed. It is always sad when [...]
Gay Hockey Kid In MN
Possible the world’s bluntest headline, but when that’s the name adopted by the blogger themself it seems appropriate.
There’s a blog I found recently,directed that way by a friend after she saw it on OutSports. Now at http://www.hockeykidmn.com/, the blog is run by Mikey, a 17 year old member of a Minneapolis High School team who [...]
Eagle has landed
Well I’ve been here in Everett for a week and a bit now and its already been a hell of a time. I spent most of the first few days in various states of unconsciousness on couches and beds as I tried to get over the most wicked jet lag I’ve ever experienced (I’d never [...]
Hockey Home-ward Bound
My plane leaves in a handful of hours and I’ll be heading North towards Everett on my next big adventure. Keep your eyes peeled to this space to read, not only more about hockey, but the adventures I have whilst on my travels.
See you on the other hemisphere side.

The Love Affair with World Juniors
“Christmas” (noun) – a day of the year that falls one day before the World Junior Hockey Championship officially starts.
I fell in love with World Juniors during the lock out. I’d only been around hockey for a few years at that point and with internet game streaming practically non-existent at this point (I really only [...]
Heartbreak Hockey
It’s been a while since I posted, I’ve been caught up with getting ready to go overseas, organising christmas and still working and so forth. One of the things that has been keeping me busy is launching and designing products for my new venture Heartbreak Hockey.
I came up with the idea for HbH when I [...]
It’s Happening!
It’s really happening. Once again I’m off to the wide world of North America to work with a hockey time. This time it’s the Everett Silvertips of the WHL, my first choice and absolute dream team to be heading to! Doug Soetaert (who’s name gives me so much trouble with spelling) the teams General Manager [...]
It’s not so much me… It’s Roenick
My first ever NHL game was San Jose v Toronto at the Shark Tank. It was Ron Wilson’s return to San Jose and a match up between the first NHL team I’d fallen in love with and the team I loved the most now. After watching for so many years, I finally got to walk [...]
Escaping Again : A New Internship Quest
Last summer, I packed my backpack and fled the Australian summer for the North American winter. I saw snow, had a white christmas, got my first excruciating hang over and most of all, completely immersed myself in hockey.
I talked General Managing, Team Development and Public Relations with Doug Soetaert and Jon Rosen in Everett, learnt [...]
The Uproar re: Georges Laraque
Everyone has a take, this is mine
It’s been all over the news lately. You can’t miss it. We’re talking about Georges Laraque and the whole Octane 7.0 drama.
Whilst I fail completely as a feminist and don’t have an issue with the scantily clad women in the advert, ones whom compared to recent Dallas Stars Ice [...]
